I just hope this softfork doesn't go ahead, it's already affecting the price. :(
Honestly this is just as ignorant as when Sun said the STEEM price was going up in response to the acquisition when it had just been announced. Despite the fact that Bitcoin had been rising too.
Guess Sun buying steemit caused that Bitcoin rise also right?
They sold the EIP on the (incorrect) narrative that the Steem price sucks ... in the middle of a bear market. Now the (correct) narrative points away from the softfork because Bitcoin is having a moment. Funny that.
Yeah I don't buy arguments based on the current price of Steem which isn't framed within the context of the price of BTC and the other alts. It seems a lot of people forget or ignore that the price moves in relation to the markets. Yes, there is influence from what happens on the platform but it's not the driving force.
